NOW PLAYING: Illinois Podcast Promos

[Illinoise]

Hey kids,

As a public service to the Illinois podcasting community, we're seeking out Illinois-based podcasters to send us 30-second promos of your shows. You know, the ones you sent to Adam Curry but he never played.

We will play promos from podcasters who:

A) live in Illinois (yes, there will be an extensive background check and urine sample), or
B) have a podcast specifically about Illinois, as reflected in the promo

Okay, so I just realized how ridiculous that last one sounded. Anyway, send us your promos and extend your 15 minutes of fame 30 more seconds.

[Illinoise]

Oh, yeah, and we're also looking for bands FROM Illinois or who write songs ABOUT Illinois. Sufjan Stevens, I'm looking in your direction.

Thanks.

[jawbone]

I'm from Cleveland. Can I be on your show?

[Illinoise]

Hmmm ... you make a very compelling argument.

You might, however, have better luck pitching your promo to Ohio?, our inquisitive sistercast.

**** it pete! more work. look for something in the next 800 hrs. ;)

[jeffoest]

I spent my first 23 years in Illinois? Does that qualify?

I know, I know..... "Go talk to 'Texan-oise'......" crawling back to corner.....

[Illinoise]

Kris,

For Pete's sake! You have an entire podcasting studio! You will have 17 promos done by the time I finish this sente.... see! And they will all sound like audio gooold.

As for you Mr. Jeff, dedicate an ENTIRE This 'N That to your love for Illinois, cut a promo about it, and we will play it. Oh, yes, we will play it.

[Version3]

I was going to go with something similar Jeff, as I was born in Chicago... but here I am in DFW. Where can we find this Texan-oise cast? :P

[jeffoest]

Pete - I wouldn't have a problem with a show devoted to Illinois stuff (heck it could be a show about all the trouble I got in when I was there) but Pat would be bored by it all.... oh well.....

V3 - where in DFW are you? Didn't realize we shared the metro neighborhood....

[Version3]

I couldn't do a podcast about Il, I lived there for my first 6 months, and have done nothing more than drive through it once since then. I know nothing about it iother than how to pronounce it correctly.

Jeff: I'm in North Fort Worth (basically Keller) , but it seems like I'm all over the place.

[bramley]

Hey, JP and NJ. I love this idea. You warm this young podcaster's Midwestern heart.

In addition to some feeble attempt at something I'll undertake any day now and forward along as something approximating a promo from up north in Chi-town, I'm sending a band I had on one of my previous shows your way. Keep an eye out for Fooled by April who has a great "Come in Chicago" song.

Drawback: you will curse me because you will never get it out of your head after you hear it.

[Illinoise]

Hey Ann,

We're looking forward to this. You've yet to disappoint us with your contributions! We like "catchy".

[indiekid]

ok guys, i'm totally all over this, i'll have a promo to you VERY soon!

[Illinoise]

Galllllligannnnn!

[owyn]

JP & NJ. Love the show.

Hate to admit it, but, the first time I saw this topic on the Front Page I had to look twice. Thought it said "Illinois Podcast Pornos". :oops:

[Illinoise]

That was no mistake, my friend. We saw all the attention that flashing boobs gets around "The Alley" and wanted a piece of that pie.

We've since come to our senses.

[indiekid]

We saw all the attention that flashing boobs gets around "The Alley" and wanted a piece of that pie.

:o HAHAHAHAHA :o

[indiekid]

Oh yeah...and Pete and Janet...

I'll be in Bloomington tonight, but my girlfriend has to go for a play rehearsal at like 6, so I'll be free for about an hour...there isn't any chances you guys are recording a podcast at that time are ya?

drop me a line on aim - indiekid03
